My current laptop is 7 years old, and I Love It!

I still even play games with it. Not the newest stuff, but I have such a huge backlog of indies and not-so-new games that I could play for 15 years…

If someone told me this will be garbage in 3 years… I would hit them with the laptop. It’s a T470p, their skull is the part that would break.

I kinda disagree. If you need something to connect to the internet, it needs to be rather up to date.

Not necessarily. There’s tons of antisemitism in The American Fascist Party the GOP, but they’re 100% on the side of the Israeli government.

The conservative brain works in mysterious ways. Some support Israel because of some end-times prophecy nonsense, some think that every Jew that moves to Israel is one less Jew in their way. Others just decided they hate Muslims more than Jew.

In fact, equating Judaism and the Israeli government is arguably a kind of antisemitism itself

That’s a different thing. You can oppose Israel without being an antisemite, but it’s trickier to explain how you can be an antisemite without opposing Israel. Hating all Jews while somehow militarily supporting those Jews. While it can be explained (see above) you have to admit it is rather counterintuitive.

And anyway I would not expect GOP dynamics to easily translate to the AFD.

I am… Confused about your request. Why can’t you also have the same on your phone? Are you still using popmail? Sounds like simply setting your accounts to IMAP should solve your problem.

But that already happens all the time. Vedy often the rights end up in the hands of some corporation and the author gets to have ~zero say in how it’s used.

Doesn’t seem to have been a particularly big issue.

It literally says “Other authenticator apps that support OTP […] can also be used”.

The whole “Apple products are great because they control both software and hardware” always made about as much sense to me as someone claiming “this product is secure because we invented our own secret encryption”.

We don’t need that, we already have Scandinavia.

I don’t find it at all annoying to keep NewPipe up to date.

I think you may need to take a look at Obtainium.

You can get e.g. pylance to work if you trick it:

So, at least in that instance, it’s just Microsoft being a little petty.
